If you are not interested in the following topic, which has absolutley nothing to to do with guns, I appologize for wasting 5 seconds of your life.



Quick atomic physics question:

According to what formula does the strong nuclear force vary?
The same for the weak nuclear force?

I'm working on a project about the expansion of the universe, and want to include a section about the relative strengths of fundamental forces to the expansion rate of the universe. But I can't remember the answers to the above questions and google is being very unhelpful.

You owe me 5 seconds. And I would've answered in the first thread you made if I had any clue what you're talking about. There is only one Force I'm relatively familiar with - and that doesn't have anything to do with physics.

Have you tried wikipedia or google to read into the matter?

I want those 5 seconds of my... oh who am I kidding, I'd only waste them.

I only studied it at A-Level, but I don't think there is one. It just dips and then bounces up of its own accord. But if you're looking at the expansion of the universe, I suggest you look up Dark Energy, which is propelling the galaxy to expand when momentum and gravity dictate it should have stopped.

Or something like that, anyway.

I find wikipedia to be very useful for these types of questions. I don't know if it directly answers your question, but it should offer some information and perhaps steer you in the right direction.

And guns are not evil, they are inanimate objects that can be used for good or evil. :-)

Dammit.

I was anticipating an actual debate.

Unfortunately, I know nothing of physics.
I think you'd have better luck Googling that stuff, Feil.

Well I gave you an answer in your other thread, but I'm too lazy to type it again.
